Chapter 374

"Brother, these are the drawings and data for the next-generation product. Take a look."

Li Dayong had spent several vacations either soaking in the Fenghua clothing factory in Hong Kong or squatting in the Changbei Machinery Factory in Jingcheng, and already had a solid "practical" style. He not only brought Li Ye good news about the new product but also brought technical materials.

Li Ye glanced at the drawings and put them aside, focusing on the technical data. He found that whether it was power consumption, noise, or vibration, there had been a significant improvement. More importantly, it reached the level of 8,000 stitches per minute.

Although ordinary workers usually adjust to a speed of 4,500-5,000 stitches per minute, the maximum number of stitches represents the level of this industrial sewing machine in some respects.

The reciprocating mechanism of the sewing machine moves up and down constantly. 5,000 cycles per minute and 8,000 cycles per minute have completely different requirements for material strength and precision.

When sales staff promote it to customers, they need to use these digital data to emphasize its "international level."

This is like selling a car. I usually drive very Buddhist-like, never exceeding one-third of the throttle, and at most driving a little over one hundred.

But you can't sell me a car with a maximum speed of 120 and a zero-to-one-hundred acceleration of over ten seconds. I need at least 180.

As for how fast I drive at the fastest? Will I floor the gas pedal?

What does it have to do with you?

In fact, ordinary people will have different degrees of dizziness at a zero-to-one-hundred acceleration of five seconds, but if you are given a car with a zero-to-one-hundred acceleration of three seconds, do you still care if you are dizzy or not?

A few decades later, a new energy vehicle with high user expectations was launched. It was good in every way, but the maximum speed was only 150 km/h, and then there was a market slump, and finally, it had to rely on a big price cut to pull the sales to the expected value.

Then the designer of this car is probably a typical data man. He thinks that 99% of people won't drive over 150, but...

Do you know that every driver has a heart of speed and passion?

Although I don't race, are you just going to sell me a broken car pulled by an old ox? Who are you trying to fool?

"If this data is true, then it's quite good,"

Li Ye said with satisfaction after reading the data: "Although it still can't compare with the new products of Fuso and Nanbang, it has already approached the level of their previous generation products. As long as the cost is controlled, there is great potential in the mainland market."

"Absolutely no problem, brother, don't worry. Although one's own child is not ugly, one must not boast about oneself. We must seek truth from facts."

Li Dayong immediately patted his chest and said: "The machine head material for the new product was found by our teacher, who made phone calls and sent telegrams to find all the classmates and friends he knew, and found the material at a special steel factory in Eastern Hubei.

Then I took the materials and drawings to Hong Kong for processing myself, and this data was also measured by me following the teacher. Not even a decimal point is wrong."

"Processed in Hong Kong?"

Li Ye looked at Li Dayong somewhat unexpectedly.

Li Dayong nodded and said somewhat helplessly: "Brother, we experimented many times with the machine tools of Changbei Machinery Factory, but the precision error fluctuated too much. We really had no choice but to process the core components in Hong Kong."

Li Ye put down the materials and asked in a deep voice: "Then what do you plan to do? Process core components in Hong Kong and then import and assemble? Or do you want to import advanced processing equipment?"

"You guessed it again, brother," Li Dayong felt Li Ye's displeasure and said in a low voice: "Guo Tianyong wants to import and assemble, but the teacher and I both want to import high-precision machine tool equipment."

Li Ye smiled and asked strangely: "Then you can make the decision yourself! Although you don't have a position in Changbei, it's your factory. You have to learn to make your own decisions. Whether you lose or earn, it's an experience of growth."

Li Dayong grinned and said with great difficulty: "Brother, I don't know why you are so decisive. It's so hard for me to decide!

Now the new product has been researched, but the contradiction has also come out. Guo Tianyong thinks that the technical ownership of the new product belongs to the Hong Kong side, but once it is put into production, Factory Manager Wang will definitely not be happy.

Then you tell me, which side should I stand on? I have a share in the Hong Kong company, but the mainland workers scold me for being a traitor. You tell me, am I wronged?"

Li Ye said puzzled: "Didn't you ask me before? Although technical research is the responsibility of the Hong Kong side, Factory Manager Wang thinks that research and development costs can be shared. It's not impossible to discuss.

We borrowed someone else's territory, used someone else's workers, and made a lot of money. Isn't it a way to earn peace of mind by sharing some technology and profits?"

When the Changbei Machinery Joint Stock Company was established, the Hong Kong capital established a research workshop alone and was responsible for technical research.

But during the Chinese New Year this year, Li Dayong mentioned to Li Ye that Factory Manager Wang of Changbei Machinery Company wanted to intervene in technical research. At that time, he came up with an idea, letting Li Ye's teachers Cao Zhisheng and Tang Mingtai and others list the research and development costs for Factory Manager Wang to see.

So now that the product has been researched, Li Ye really can't kick people out.

Besides, this technology looks advanced now, but it will be updated in a few years. Future technical investment is still early! It can't always be that the Hong Kong capital bears the research and development costs alone, while Factory Manager Wang's side always takes advantage.

But Li Dayong said helplessly: "Brother, I did that at the time, but you don't know! After Factory Manager Wang saw the research budget listed by my teacher, he said he would only give the money after the product was accepted? So..."

"Hehe."

Li Ye couldn't help but laugh out loud and said: "You said it wrong, Dayong, I really know this routine."

In his previous life, Li Ye thought that running sales earned a lot of money, so he worked as a salesperson for a few days, and as a result, he encountered a strange boss who "reimbursed travel expenses after signing the order."

If you hit screws on the production line, you at most don't get wages. If you go to open up the market, you might even lose your only few thousand deposits!

Seeing Li Ye's half-smiling expression, Li Dayong couldn't tell if his brother was angry.

So he had to say sheepishly: "Actually, brother, I came today mainly to ask for Master's idea. He is in a similar situation to Factory Manager Wang now, so I want him to give some guidance."

"Oh."

Li Ye smiled and teased: "So you came for your Master! Then why are you babbling here with me for so long?"

Li Dayong also laughed: "Brother, I actually prefer to chat with you. Asking Master for an idea is listening to a lecture. If you can give me an idea, I don't want to trouble Master either!"

Li Ye pondered for a while and nodded: "This matter! Your Master might really be able to give some advice."

Li Zhongfa is now presiding over the Qingshuihe Food Company, and his position is the same as Factory Manager Wang who presides over the Changbei Machinery Joint Stock Company, so thinking from another perspective is not a bad way.

Li Ye went to call Li Zhongfa over and introduced simply: "Grandpa, it's like this. Changbei Machinery Joint Stock Company has Pei Wenhui's share, which is the dowry Pei Wencong prepared for his sister in the future, so it must be closely related to Dayong. Now there is a problem..."

Li Ye told Li Zhongfa the situation in detail, and Li Zhongfa didn't even think about it, and asked a series of questions.

"What is the research funding? How is it calculated? Did you report and sign with Factory Manager Wang when spending money? Are there formal receipts for all the materials consumed..."

Listening to Li Zhongfa's series of questions, Li Dayong was already confused, while Li Ye was laughing on the side, as if he saw the "easy to handle" attitude of the financial accountant when he was reimbursed.

"The research funding is close to 700,000. How it's calculated... I have to ask my teacher, but reporting and signing with Factory Manager Wang is definitely not there. He doesn't even know the progress of the new product,

And he might not agree to the rewards for several technical researchers..."

Li Zhongfa was stunned and asked: "How much is that reward?"

Li Dayong said with a guilty conscience: "There are three people in total, 15,000 each, and another 5,000 is a red envelope for the workshop workers."

"Then don't even think about it," Li Zhongfa waved his hand and said: "Just this reward of 15,000 per person, he won't agree. By the way, why did you spend so much research funding? Close to 700,000?"

Li Dayong said aggrievedly: "Master, we have already been very saving. Every time we improve the performance a little bit, we don't know how many experiments it will take. Every time is money!"

"Tsk tsk, it's hard to handle. 700,000 yuan, even if he believes you, he won't give the money happily. You came to ask for hard work money after the work is done? What are you thinking?"

Li Zhongfa shook his head repeatedly, indicating that the group of technical men responsible for research had too little experience.

Li Ye could understand this. Changbei Machinery Joint Stock Company is not a scientific research unit specializing in research after all.

Many scientific research experiments are useless repetitions of taking off pants to fart in the eyes of outsiders. In order to determine the cause of a failure, it may be a waste of countless consumables in dozens of possible directions, and it is not necessarily possible to get good results.

When encountering this situation, pure management personnel and pure technical personnel are prone to conflict, right?

Technical personnel: "Just give the money quickly, don't talk nonsense, you won't understand even if I tell you."

Management personnel: "I don't understand technology, but I understand RMB, right? If you buy a two-mao screw, you have to write it clearly for me!"

It's not that Old Man Ren couldn't point fingers at the unit at will! It's not that Lenovo's technical-trade-industry finally became trade-industry-technology!

Whether technology and management can be harmonious is not something that can be explained clearly in a few words. Those who are not broad-minded cannot be competent.

Li Ye pondered for a while and asked Li Zhongfa: "Grandpa, why don't you let Dayong contact and organize the Qingshuihe Food Company and Changbei Machinery Company to visit and learn from each other, and then you can help Dayong see what kind of person that Factory Manager Wang is, how about it?"

"Fine! You are using your grandpa as a spy!"

Li Zhongfa laughed and then narrowed his eyes and asked Li Ye: "Xiao Ye, then what kind of person do you hope that Factory Manager Wang is?"

Facing Li Zhongfa's eyes, Li Ye said very frankly: "I hope he is a person who is not pedantic, not rigid in form, dares to open up and change for the development of the mainland's machinery industry, and dares to take responsibility."

"But..."

Li Ye smiled and said: "Such people are rare. Most people can only see the one-third of an acre of land in front of them, and then hold this one-third of an acre of land tightly in their arms, planting cabbage in winter and cucumbers in summer,

Looking very busy, but not knowing that outside this one-third of an acre of land, there are tens of thousands of acres of wasteland waiting to be reclaimed."

Li Zhongfa was silent for a long time before nodding: "What you said makes some sense. One-third of an acre of land is indeed a bit small."
